Table 3.
Typea | Example | Processing and goals |
Descriptive (what is known) | Hi Jane, it’s the team with your feedback. So how did you score? Ave fruit serves = 1.5, ave veg serves = 3. What’s the goal again? 2 fruit & 5 veg every day. You are halfway there! | Effortful processing and self-referencing |
Comparative (contrasts with others) | Hi Jane, so how did you score? Ave fruit serves = 1.5, veg serves = 3.5. Your fruit serves varied from 0 - 3.5, veg from 1.5 - 5.5 over 4 days. So how does your intake compared to others? Ave fruit serves = 1, veg serves = 2. | Effortful processing, self-referencing, and normative beliefs and attitudes |
Evaluative (interpretation) | Hi Jane, it’s the team with feedback on your PA. So how did you score? Ave steps a day = 5,500. What’s your goal again? 10,000 steps a day. You are over halfway there! | Effortful processing, self-referencing, and normative beliefs and attitudes |
